Bagga contested from
Krishna Nagar constituency in the
2015 Delhi Legislative Assembly elections from the AAP against
Kiran Bedi, the chief ministerial candidate of the
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He raised the issue of a simplified
Value-added tax (VAT) as well as other issues of traders. Krishna Nagar had previously been held by
Harsh Vardhan of the BJP (since 1993), who vacated the seat when he was elected to the
Indian Parliament in the
2014 Indian general elections. It was considered a bastion of the BJP and a "safe" seat for BJP, which banked on Harsh Vardhan's work in the assembly. Bagga's win was considered a "shocking" upset and earned him sobriquets like "man of the match", "giant killer" and "show stealer". The previously little-known Bagga rose to instant fame, after his victory. Bagga said that his victory was due to his work in the area, while Bedi, who does not reside in the area, was an "outsider". • Member (2022–2023),
